[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I will vote for Justin Wilson for Mayor, and the incumbents for council (though if I were to drop one, I suppose it would be Del Pepper) ,  Of the challengers I have heard Dak Hardwick is good, not sure what I will do for the remaining slot.  [/quote]

PP, question:  what's the difference between the current mayor and Silberberg?  They both seem to tolerate and make excuses about the nasty city bureaucrats and the dumb decisions like three years of lawsuits over the little restaurant, they both seem to just do whatever the school board wants even though the schools are awful, and they seem to pay attention to stuff that positively no one cares about while services suffer.  Can you say how they're different?[/quote]

Silberberg IS the current Mayor, so I am not sure what you are talking about.

I have met several city bureaucrats and I do not find them to be nasty.

Not sure what little restaurant you are talking about - do you mean the yacht club?

I am not an expert on school board issues.  My belief is that the majority of the school problems are demographics, and while they could be better managed, they are still doing about as well as other systems with similar demographics.  And the Council only has say over total school board spending, not details of school policy.   I think the increase in spending made sense.

Not sure what your last point means,  about stuff no one cares about.  [/quote]
